Rolex authentication for a newbie?

Hi, trying to get into my first Rolex. Looking at purchasing this gold datejust. I know it's just a few photos but any comment on authenticity? spacing between date and just is throwing me off.

Also, planning to purchase via PayPal with buyer protection and get it checked on arrival. Any experience with claims for Rolex under PayPal in case this goes badly?

Thanks!!

Thanks for your response. You're saying this is fake? Or just ugly?

Who is the seller? Is there any paperwork for the watch?

I'd be much more concerned about the odd placement of the cyclops and the weird spacing of "Rolex" engraved around the rehaut than I would be about the space between the words "Date" and "Just."

Looks extremely fake. The worst “date just” I’ve seen in a long time. The Rehaut is appalling.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but it is supposedly a DateJust, but has the President (Day-Date) bracelet That should not be

Datejust is one word in Rolex vernacular.

The 12 other giveaways are redundant after that.

If it's a precious metal DateJust, it comes with the President bracelet. Currently on the Rolex website, this is a Lady Datejust:
